BBQ - Fundraiser – May 31

Mark the date on your calendar! SVTU is holding a BBQ and fund-raising activity on Saturday, May 31, at the Lois Green-Sligo Isaac Walton League Pavilion on Snouffer School Road in Gaithersburg.

Come and enjoy the camaraderie, good food, fun, and activities. Participate in the live auction, and bucket and silent raffles for quality fishing equipment, accessories, and household items for those who don’t fish.  The BBQ will be catered.

  • Stream restoration / improvement projects dedicated to establishing improved trout habitat and wild trout populations, such as the Beaver Creek restoration project near Hagerstown, and the Brook Trout restoration efforts in central and western Maryland.
